Gas Filler cap Enblems Couldn't get this paint off, tried everything =( Also the textured plastic is a pain to work on, it almost destroyed my sponge like a cheese grater Lets get claying, I was expecting some heavy contaminents from a 5 month old car that's parked outside Surprisingly not that much on the hood All Done Nice and clean rearend All dried and ready for some waxing Wax of choice today, and every other day: It got dark after my second layer of wax Unfortunately the owner was in a bit of a rush so I couldn't grab pictures of the engine bay after I finished, also I kind of forgot to take pictures nearing the end since I was in the zone. Thanks for viewing:mounty: Suggestions would be highly appreciated!
I believe it's some sort of latex paint. I really am stumped by it, I did tell the customer about the issue and he was very nice about it.
